I'm amazed how many people I see taking photos of their coffee. Like "this is the one I want to remember". It's like the joy of novelty has been replaced by the potential and short…

We wrote about the "why" on our blog a few months ago [1], but the short version Sleep is a complex interplay of multiple systems within the body. A consistent/regular schedule mea…

I always come at this angle. If you had the data, what would you do to change it? Would you recommend everyone go outside? You can do that without the data. Would you wear your own…

Based on the current status of my shadowbanned account (I suspect a competitor in our space retaliating), it looks like `banall` only flags posts from the last 6 years. Of course, …

It doesn't work until it does. The same thing has been said about robotics, AI, space travel, etc. etc. I'm not saying this is the way, and I have significant questions of understa…

Aren't most of the health benefits they list in the article the benefits (or reversing the impacts) of a healthier metabolic system? Apnea, fatty liver, and cancer risk are all lin…

What many people may not realize is that loneliness is a significant contributor to some of these scams. The fraudsters seek out people who just want to talk and be heard, who don'…

I've used react native a bunch. When you've got custom elements it isn't always the cross-platform write once you think it is. I've always had custom components across iOS and Andr…

Thanks for the info. We're using https://buttplug.io/ currently. After reviewing a bunch of packages, one of our devs decided this was probably the best available. I'll mention the…

So creatine adds the phosphates back to the adenosine? However, it's a good reason to exercise. Burn the phosphates from ATP and be left with adenosine, which as you say promotes s…

So a bit different from the other comments. We're a wearable company which of course pairs with an app. We built iOS first because that's what most of our users have, though the te…

We're not shipping globally to start. Australia (where we're based) and US only. When we look at our user groups, they are almost entirely iPhone.

We're reviewing this, but don't have an update just yet. Most of our team are daily Android users, including me, but we need to serve the larger customer base.

An upstream metric that can be measured daily is sleep slow-wave activity or delta power. This is the synchronous firing of neurons which define restorative deep sleep, and one of …

We have have iPhone dev phones, I just mean that for our daily use we don't use iOS. When I'm travelling I use iOS as my 2nd phone as well. So we dogfood it, but it's more like a s…

I have a brand new Microsoft Band still in the box! When I ordered one, Microsoft sent me two and refused to refund me and take the 2nd one back :) I still look at that device fond…

Yeah, my co-founder and I were discussing this yesterday. It was always in the plans, we're all actually on Android, but we wanted to get the user experience right on one platform …

The back-end costs aren't high. We decided to go with a low device cost and subscription to make it cost effective to purchase when finances allow us to get to a monthly instead of…

I think it should. Our system is closed-loop and we monitor the real-time change in brain-wave activity. The process is very precise, and must be (80ms window for a 50ms pulse). Wh…

Fair criticisms. However, there are FDA limitations on what you can say regarding devices that both measure and affect biomarkers and neuromarkers while the user is unconscious. Th…

I think they will soon be re-writing this article with the addition of "and rise again". I work in neurotech/sleeptech and one of the biggest challenges I see in our industry is, i…

This completely misses a few large points. 1) Though they are comparing parents specifically, without the baseline of what the hunter-gatherer groups sleep was like without childre…

I used to work in WebRTC back in it's earlier days and our team developed the open-source rtc.io. ( https://github.com/rtc-io ) I never would have imagined that OpenAI is sending t…

sorry, I didn't see this. I've responded on reddit.

The best UI is no UI at all. I can't think of a single time I've looked at a product tour and thought "well, I'm really glad they told me that, I never would have figured that out.…
